My sock yarn gift...

I was wonderfully gifted with some sock yarn from a dear friend! I love you!!! The 2 wrapped packages of 10 are 75% super wash wool and 25% nylon. The 2 blue variegated are 40% wool, 40% bamboo 20% nylon. The 4 bigger skeins are 48% cotton, 39% merino, 13% nylon. 2 of the hanks are 100% merino and 2 are 50% bamboo and 50% wool. The 2 light variegated green ones are 75% super wash and 25% nylon. There are at least 2 of every colorway... some really nice yarn!
